What watch ya like for the backcountry & everyday use?

[T-Dozzer]

Im in the market for a new watch. I've beat up a luminox 3000 for a decade & not happy with the G-shock I have. (Im picky).
Ive been looking at the Suunto and Garmin.
Must be easily read at night and have GPS/elevation.
Would like to keep it at $400 or less.

I have one of the original Suunto sailing watches and like everything but the battery life. I'm sure the battery life issue has been resolved by now, but would check to be sure.

I've had the Suunto Core for about 4 years now. No GPS but it has an altimeter and storm warning with the weather barometer. They are about $320

Leaning toward the suunto traverse. Great stuff for hiking & everyday use. Battery seems pretty decent depending on function use.

Do you get strange looks with that strapped to your wrist?

This will not be my primary means of navigation.

It's the newest fashion fad going around.

I recently bought the garmin fenix 3 HR and love it.  Great for hiking, hunting and multi sport tracker.

no kidding! all I use for everything. Then you get people complaining about pack weight as they pack their cell phone, gps and watches plus hoards of other gear

The Suunto weighs 0.8oz
Hopefully I can hack that.

 Rolex, no batteries or chargers needed.

 How do you charge your iPhone in the back country?
